[Gcl-devel] Frame stack overflow - limit parameter to increase somewhere?

[Gunther Schadow]

Hi, 

sorry, I don't find any better place to post this question than
the devel list (well, once in 1993 I was hacking the KCL and 
AKCL code myself trying to port it to 386BSD, so I might be 
excused.)

I am working here with a description logic classifier in GCL and 
it's bailing out with a "Frame stack overflow" error with a frame
stack of height 653. Normally I would think that this is a termination
issue, but this algorithm is tested and believed to work, yet my
data is pretty big, so I would expect it to run long and deep. But
why should there even be a stack overflow on a machine with virtual
memory? I have set ulimit -s unlimited but to no avail. Is there some
maximum frame stack size parameter in GCL that could be increased?

I fgrepped the source code and could find nothing.

I appreciate any hint. I would really need a large memory model for 
my purpose.

thanks,
